Sack Glen and put him in as LB. He used to be a defender right? Can't be any worse than what we have...

It actually sounds like Olivier is taking an indirect jab at Roeder to me. Perhaps he's seeing the changing tides and severing ties with his "pal"

None of that is all that far from the truth. Surprised to see something this incisive from the BBC to be honest.

The extra gates, prize money, and prestige European competitions give us far outweighs any sort of immaterial advantage we could gain from "concentrating on the league" tbh. Personally, I'm still hoping we'll nick an Intertoto spot this season. Not that I think it's very likely, but I have to find some way to attatch meaning to the game we have left.

Just out of curiosity, what has Ronaldo been saying about Bramble

The Shay-bashing always shows up after every bad defeat. I won't even bother bandering about the useless "world class" debate, but I don't think anyone here can disagree that his saves for us FAR outnumber his mistakes. End of.

old git ,so its ok to let this s*** go on season after season and just accept it .its called caring old dear , There's a difference between caring and just bitching for the sake of it. I've got no quarrel with you.

I could care less tbh. I know what I've put in, I know what I've seen, I know how other clubs are run / perform What I'm saying is that mate, if you can't be bothered about the Toon anymore, just walk away. Stop using it as a device to big yourself up as the "cynical cool guy" on an internet message board. aye, that's exactly my motive behave If you want to find the martyr, he's called NE5 you want to take a guess at how many members support your view right now? I hardly think I'm in the minorty Not to be condescending, but I honestly have no idea what you were trying to say there. look look its another guy 'bigging himself up' http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=37317.msg742296#msg742296 I'm not bothered about people just saying it's hard to care now right after the loss today. God knows I was too for a moment. The problem is your general "we're shit, and I'm so cool because I dont' care" Attitude that's been going on for ages now. I'm just tired of reading it. Especially now.

No idea about league preformance. But I can predict with utter confidence that there'll be plenty more disgraceful fans who think "supporting their club" means shitting all over it at every opportunity.

you wouldn't know a board with zero ambition if it hit you in the head with a pickaxe. You are better off sticking to toontastic with all the other idiots that agree with your nonsensical, idealistic views. I am glad I wasn't as stupid and deluded as you when I was 16. I'm actually surprised you haven't gone after a lot more of the threads that are coming up today. Plenty of opportunities to defend the Shepherd and co. all over the board right now.

Well, that's probably because they're *gasp* English. I'm not as bothered about the bias as I am about their general stupidity.

I take it this is a joke? Bramble is s***. But ask yourself, are Taylor, Huntington, Ramage, or Oneywu better? yes, taylor and gooch are better! Taylor is just as mistake prone as Bramble. To be completely honest, I think a lot of it gets covered up because of his (admittedly admirable) work ethic and the fact that he's a Geordie. Thankfully, he's still young, so he's got a shot to improve. Gooch, from what he's shown us so far, is no better than Bramble. Again, I sincerely hope he'll get better once he gets a permanent deal and settles down in England, but for now that's the truth.

I think we should just bite the bullet and do it now when we probably couldn't get any quality European managers anyway. At worst, he's a very good man-manager and disciplinarian with questionable tactical skills. That's loads better than Roeder, an OK man-manager and disciplinarian with utter dog**** tactical skills. Who knows, he may even come good. Considering that a Shearer appointment is inevitable at some point down the road, we may as well try now.

Not only is he not good enough, but from what I can garner from this panicked blathering, he's also pretty much broken psychologically now.

The thing is, Taylor or Oneywu are just as mistake prone as Bramble is. They just get less flak for it. And TItus's all-around game when he's actually playing well is better than either of them. I'm not saying that Titus is good enough to be wearing the shirt or anything, but that's just the sad state that our squad is in. At least Taylor has the excuse of being young. you're judging Onweyu's few games against brambles years of s*** performances? What else am I supposed to judge him on? You don't need to watch somebody for a hundred matches just to get a feel for what sort of player he is. I'm not even saying that we need to get rid immediately or anything. Oneywu's amazing physical abilities may come to be an asset eventually, but as for now he's certainly no better than Bramble. Would certainly like to be proved wrong.

I'll be in Newcastle for the Man City home game. Suddenly this just started feeling a lot less exciting. Lol, well at least it looks like I won't have to worry about getting tickets.

Titus was **** tonight. But he's still our best defender. Fact. Oh great, I'm going to start crying again.

No judgement on the lad. He had an utter shocker, yes. But he was young, inexperienced, and stuck in a pressure-loaded away tie in a very, very hostile stadium by his fool of a manager. Let's show some support for him. I don't know if he's going to be good enough or not, but surely nobody want's to see any potential he has wasted because this game causes him to lose all his confidence.

Brilliant. Utter genius. We truly have a great manager. ...Somebody tell me if I'm getting close to spamming btw

My god, that woman has four....

Do we actually even have the trophy/beer tap or did they just give us the certificate?
